New Jersey's state senate today defeated a bill to legalize gay marriage, leaving it unlikely the state will have a gay marriage law in the very near future. The bill needed 21 votes to pass, but was defeated 20-14. Gay-rights advocates had pushed hard to get the bill passed before Jan. 19, when Republican Chris Christie becomes governor. Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine promised to sign the bill; Christie has said he would veto it.

@newsrmandan - The world will eventually be overpopulated. Besides, if being gay is a problem let them hook up and (not) breed. If you have a problem with it it should take care of itself (assuming it's a genetic thing. That's the whole nature vs nurture business). Placing restrictions on 'em gives them incentive to defy their genetic code, pretend they're hetero and means they keep multiplying. Besides, wasn't overpopulation supposed to be an eventual problem?

Christie is a fat shit scumbag. What is wrong with gay marriage? Someone PLEASE tell me. It's 2010 people, this has sunken so low. It's a crying shame.
